I bought Chinese opera movies DVDs with no copy protection (16 discs of 32 episodes) from a video store in California. I would like to rip into my HD for safe copy and view them on my trips instead of bringing many DVDs. Unfortunately, for unknown reason I am unable to do so. Effectively, DVDshrink 3.2 shows a Data Error CRC, DVDFabDecryptor 3.0.7 seems to freeze with no activity, and Nero burning Rom 6.6 failed to read these DVDs at about 50% to 65% while making an ISO file. I never have this issues with other DVDs that I purchased from the internet or Blockbuster store.

I have a Dell Inspiron 9200 with NEC ND-6500A 203D firmware DVD burner and running XP pro sp2. Please note, the DVDs play fine in my standalone DVD players (I haven't tested all of them yet) and the Disc title shows LG_RC590M. I google but can't find anything related to LG_RC590M or LG_RC590. I can't return them since I am already back in my hometown in NY. Am I missing something? Is the problem from my end or the store where they may use a non standard equipment.

If the movies are truly unprotected, jut copy the files from the DVD to the hardrive... or use ImgBurn to create an ISO image... There is no need for AnyDVD, DVDFab, etc. to break an encryption that is not there. If you copy the files to your hard drive, you should be able to play them with PowerDVD or something like that.
